Les tournois organisés à Dubaï et au Cap au début du mois ont aiguisé l’appétit pour ce qui promet d’être une année 2024 exceptionnelle pour le rugby à sept.

La nouvelle mouture du HSBC SVNS 2024 a démarré en fanfare au Sevens Stadium début décembre, les Australiennes et les Sud-Africains poursuivant leur domination dans le désert.

L’Australie a ensuite enchaîné avec un autre succès à Dubaï en remportant un premier titre au Cap pour maintenir son départ à 100 % dans les Series féminines, tandis que l’Argentine – finaliste battue sept jours auparavant – a soulevé le titre de la Cup chez les hommes au DHL Stadium pour prendre une longueur d’avance au classement.

Le spectacle a été aussi bon en dehors que sur le terrain, puisque des dizaines de milliers de fans ont afflué lors des deux premières étapes du circuit mondial pour écouter de la musique live de haut niveau, des DJ, apprécier la restauration et les rafraîchissements proposés, ainsi que pour assister à des matchs de rugby à sept passionnants.

Avec encore six tournois à disputer, en commençant par Perth fin janvier puis en passant par Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hongkong, Singapour et Madrid, la course au titre de champion du HSBC SVNS 2024 s’annonce très serrée.

Car contrairement aux années précédentes, l’identité des champions et championnes ne sera pas connue avant la fin du tournoi final à Madrid en juin.

Dans le cadre de la refonte de la compétition, les huit meilleures équipes de chaque classement masculin et féminin à l’issue des sept tournois seront réparties en deux poules de quatre et s’affronteront lors d’une grande finale dans l’emblématique stade Civitas Metropolitano. Le vainqueur de cette finale remportera le titre de champion de la saison.

En parallèle, les équipes classées de la neuvième à la douzième place au classement devront se battre pour conserver leur place dans le SVNS en s’affrontant dans un tournoi distinct entre huit équipes, aux côtés des quatre meilleures équipes du World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series 2024.

Quatre équipes masculines et quatre équipes féminines confirmeront ainsi leur place dans le SVNS 2025 à travers les tournois, qui se composent d’une phase de poule et d’une étape de barrage.

La course à la qualification pour Madrid via les Challenger Series débutera à Dubaï le 12 janvier lorsque 12 équipes masculines et 12 équipes féminines s’élanceront sur la ligne de départ.

Montevideo, en Uruguay, accueillera ensuite le deuxième tournoi en mars, tandis que les Challenger Series 2024 masculines s’achèveront en Allemagne et les féminines en Pologne en mai.

Le rugby à sept à l’honneur à Paris

Bien sûr, la Series n’est pas le seul évènement de Sevens en 2024 et la plupart des 24 équipes participant au circuit mondial auront également les yeux rivés sur le succès aux Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024 en juillet.

Onze des 12 équipes de chacun des tournois masculins et féminins ont déjà été déterminées par les séries et les qualifications régionales.

Cependant, il reste encore une place à prendre pour le tournoi masculin et une place pour le tournoi féminin, ce qui sera fait lors du Tournoi de Qualification Final qui aura lieu à Monaco entre le 21 et le 23 juin.

L’Afrique du Sud, médaillée de bronze à Rio 2016 et championne de l’Emirates Dubai 7s, sera la tête d’affiche d’un groupe de 12 équipes masculines au World Rugby Sevens Repechage parmi lesquelles les adversaires du SVNS, le Canada, la Grande-Bretagne et l’Espagne.

Chez les femmes, la Chine et le Kenya ont tous deux une expérience olympique, tandis que la Tchéquie s’est qualifiée – en battant l’Espagne du SVNS au passage – pour sa première année de rugby à sept international.

Quelles que soient les équipes qui décrocheront les précieux billets pour Paris 2024, les tournois au Stade de France – où se sont déroulées deux finales de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby – promettent d’être une autre publicité attrayante pour la version courte du rugby.

Les Français vont certainement croire en leurs chances de terminer avec une médaille dans les tournois masculin et féminin, car ils ont prouvé qu’ils étaient réguliers dans les Series au cours des dernières années.

Les espoirs français de médaille chez les hommes ont également été renforcés par la décision d’Antoine Dupont de s’engager dans la campagne à partir de février, tandis que l’ex-Wallaby Michael Hooper tente de gagner une place dans l’équipe d’Australie.

« La dernière fois [que j’ai joué au rugby à sept], c’était en moins de 18 ans, je crois, mais c’est le même sport et il y a beaucoup de choses similaires. Je vais devoir travailler beaucoup pour être compétitif dans toutes les compétitions », a déclaré Dupont à la BBC le week-end dernier.

Il participera au SVNS 2024 en février et mars avant de retourner à Toulouse pour la fin de la saison à XV.

« J’ai beaucoup d’appels avec l’entraîneur pour essayer d’acquérir des skills, et je vais essayer d’apprendre en regardant le jeu », assure-t-il.

Les féminines d’Australie ont remporté l’or à Rio 2016 et ont commencé la saison en pleine forme, mettant fin à la série de 41 victoires des Black Ferns Sevens, championnes olympiques en titre, pour s’emparer du titre à Dubaï, avant de tenir tête à un retour des Françaises en finale au Cap.

Maddison Levi, véritable machine à marquer, a poursuivi sur la lancée de sa saison record de 2022 et espère aider son pays à remporter une deuxième médaille d’or olympique.

« On ne peut atteindre son apogée qu’une seule fois », a déclaré Maddison Levi. « On a eu une période de rodage et on va se remettre à travailler dur en espérant être au top pour les Jeux olympiques.

« Nous devons nous remettre au travail après deux week-ends réussis.

« Le travail acharné ne s’arrête pas là. »

On pourrait en dire autant de toutes les équipes et de tous les joueurs qui s’entraînent actuellement pour la gloire du SVNS, des Jeux olympiques ou des Series en 2024.

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

Like many crypto enthusiasts, My dad was initially drawn to the platform by its seemingly professional interface, an array of cryptocurrencies available for trading, and the alluring promises of high returns. The exchange looked reputable, offering a seamless user experience. Dad decided to deposit a significant amount of $50,000 to try his hand at crypto trading. Everything appeared legitimate, and after a few weeks, his account balance had grown to over $200,000. I remember how thrilled he was with his success and wanted to cash out some of his profits. However, when he tried to withdraw funds, problems began to emerge. The platform’s customer service team contacted him with an urgent request: to unlock his funds, he would need to deposit an additional $40,000. The explanation provided was that there were "processing fees" associated with large withdrawals, and that this extra deposit was required before the investor could access any of his money. That’s when I began doing my research and in the process, I found that this is in fact a common scheme. My brother in-law recommended a Tech company called GearHead Engineers, which has been helping victims like my dad to successfully withdraw their funds without paying the unfair fees. We did contact them through their email, gearhead(@)engineer(.)com and after a series of communication, they got back every single penny back. This only took them 4 days. I must admit that we were impatient but it turned out great. Reach out to them.

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech


As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality.Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, I encourage you to trust HACK SAVVY TECH they truly know how to help.
